Central Islip High School valedictorian Radiyyah Hussein is interested in going into the sciences professionally and even practices being a doctor in a unique way.

Lynbrook High School valedictorian Joshua Sarlo is also an avid hockey player. But when he's not spending time scoring on the ice, he's eating it -- for dessert, of course.
